In the documentation for split() it says "By default, empty leading fields are preserved, and empty trailing ones are deleted." You want to preserve the empty trailing fields, so you need to use the third argument (and to use the third, you have to specify the second): @line = split /,/, $_, -1; Also note that commas are not special in regular expressions, to there's no need to escape them. -- Keith C.
